What should I do if I want to visit Dunhuang?

Dunhuang is a relatively mature tourist city. We usually travel with travel agency groups, but this year we traveled to Dunhuang on our own during the National Day. We camped in the Gobi desert and ancient city passes, and watched the sunrise and sunset in the desert. The vast scene of "the lonely smoke in the desert and the sun setting over the long river" will spontaneously give rise to a feeling of nostalgia for the past, which has a unique flavor. It is worth recommending self-help strategies to travel friends and photography friends.

Poems, lyrics and rhymes about Dunhuang:

"Far above the Yellow River among the white clouds, there is an isolated city in Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass. "

"The morning rain in Weicheng is light, and the guest house is green and the willows are new. I urge you to have a glass of wine and go west to Yangguan without any old friends." A luminous cup of grape wine. If you want to drink the pipa, don't laugh. You are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?

”

Under the setting sun in the desert/Who is the person playing the flute/Let the years peel off the red dress/Helpless and scarred/In the desolate old castle/Who is playing the pipa/Just waiting for me to come and go/ The meeting in this life/Fireworks are flying all over the sky/Who are you charming for/It’s just that you are drunk just looking at the flowers/Quicksand is flying all over the sky/Who is haggard for you/It’s just fate coming and going, fate is like water
